Carroll Shelby finished his race yesterday. One of the greatest innovators and inventors in racing. Also a pretty fair Chili maker. The Cobra and the Shelby Mustangs are only slightly less iconic than the man himself. Ford racing owes a great debt to the partnership they had with Shelby.

Also, his driving career was cut short by his heart but his engineering skill was always the thing. Too often forgotten also was the GT40 program which succeeded in cleaning Ferrari's clock. What a car that one was............
